ProMaster 2500 User Manual 3-31

Multiple User/Password Mode

—In this mode, each user has a

password and must enter it before TaskLink will display the main

screen. Users are assigned an authorization level as either an

administrator or operator (see Figure 3-20).

Depending on the security level selected, you can configure TaskLink to

require operators and administrators to enter their user name and

password before the main screen is displayed (see Figure 3-20). Users

who have been authorized as operators are restricted to the operator

mode and blocked from all administrator mode commands.

The default operator mode password is

password

. Each operator may

create a unique password to replace this default, and can change it by

selecting the

Change Password

pushbutton from the login dialog box

(see Figure 3-20). Screen prompts guide user through the process.

If an operator forgets a password, the system administrator must remove

that operator’s name from the list of users and reenter it. This allows the

operator to start over using the default password.

Note: If no one knows the correct password to use to enter a mode, call Customer

Support for assistance.

Administrators who successfully enter their user names and passwords

can access both operator and administrator modes. Press

F10

to switch

between these modes of operation (when a security level is selected,

F10

does not switch between modes). Each time you try to reenter

administrator mode from the operator screen, TaskLink prompts you to

enter the administrator password.

When security level 2 or 3 is selected, a password is required to gain

access to the

Security Setup

dialog box. Figure 3-19 shows

access-

password

as an example of a password that must be entered before an

administrator can access this dialog box.

Set Preferences...

This set of check boxes allows you to configure some of TaskLink’s

optional system prompts and operating preferences. Press

to invoke

TaskLink’s online Help for more information on the choices presented.

Two of the options that are particularly useful with the ProMaster 2500

are described in the following sections.

Purge ProMaster After

Processing

This option directs the 2500 to remove all devices from the track sections,

moving them to an output tube. The operator does not have to manually

remove devices from the tracks and load them, observing correct polarity,

into tubes.

TaskLink displays a purge dialog box when:

• Devices are in the track at the end of a Task or programming session.

• A Task has been terminated by the operator.

• The next Task in a Kit uses a different device type.

The

Purge...

dialog box prompts the operator to choose

<OK>

to start

purging parts from the system. If

is selected, any parts in the

tracks must be removed by the operator.

Remove the input tube if it has any devices and make sure that at least

one empty output tube is installed before selecting

<OK>

. TaskLink will

send all devices detected in the input track through the 2500 before it

completes the purge operation.

Enable Programmer

Disk

TaskLink (V1.4 or higher) will create and load your data files on either the

2500’s floppy drive or the MSM. To see the new commands displayed on

the TaskLink menus, you must select the

Enable Programmer Disk

Options

from the

Set Preferences

dialog box.

Tasks and Kits

ProMaster 2500 User Manual 3-33

Introduction to Kits

Kits are Tasks that have been daisy-chained together so several can be

run as one large job. The most common use for Kits is to string together

the separate Tasks used to program all the devices for a single board. In

Figure 3-23 there are four devices that must be programmed and labeled

for the sample board. Each device has one Task that controls the process

for producing that device. The Kit acts like a super-Task.

To illustrate this point, assume that 60 boards need to be built. When the

Kit for this board is run, the Task 1 pass limit is set to 60 devices. When

that count is reached, TaskLink displays a message prompting the system

operator to change over for the second Task. When ready for Task 2, the

operator presses

↵

. TaskLink starts Task 2, and 60 devices for that Task

are programmed. This process continues for Task 3 and Task 4.

The messages screens are typically used when the Tasks define devices

using different package types (Task 1 uses DIPs and Task 2 uses PLCCs).

In this case, a message screen might remind the operator about the steps

required to change over from one package type to another.

A Kit can include a maximum of 20 Tasks. All the Tasks for a Kit must be

in the same database file (called the

Source Database

in the Kit dialog

box), but the Kit can be stored in the Source Database or a different

database file. When the Kit is run, the system operator specifies the

number of Kits (equal to the number of complete boards) to be built.

Selecting Kit

Parameters

The process for creating a Kit is similar to creating a Task. From

TaskLink’s main screen, select

Add Kit...

and press

↵

(see Figure

3-22).
